Pros

* Cool product * Small team in a good location and nice office

Cons

* Totally unrealistic sales targets from the head office, who doesn't understand the local markets * Not everyone gets to travel or experience the product * Terrible management, playing favorites and encouraging and allowing toxic behavior * Poor communication from the global office to local markets * Global team is a decade behind local markets in skills and knowledge, particularly in technology * The product is a tough sell to local markets who don't know the company with the funny name and don't want to pay the high prices for the product * The "Norwegian way" of work-life balance does not translate to the local markets -- who have to find a way to get the work done while the Norwegians were off on their monthlong vacations

Very dysfunctional internal systems that prevents employees from doing their work efficiently. Poor training program and lack of support from senior management to assist front line workers from getting abused from customers
